Castérino

In the Alpes-Maritimes, few settlements have been shaped as profoundly by seasonal mountain grazing as Castérino. This small hamlet in the commune of Tende lies in the upper Roya country, close to Mercantour National Park and the approaches to the Vallée des Merveilles. The surrounding high valleys are renowned for prehistoric rock engravings, notably at Fontanalba and in the Vallée des Merveilles, where thousands of figures were carved into exposed rock surfaces. Castérino also serves as a starting point for mountain routes in summer and cross-country skiing in winter, while its position near Italy gives the area a distinctly borderland character.
